    Chapter 684: The first time in forty-eight years

    The appointment of Joe Hart, who has only two years of experience in the English Championship and half a year in the Premier League, as England's main goalkeeper is one of Xiao Ming's most considered "nepotism" moves since he took office.

    However, in these games, Hart's performance was quite good - at least, he did not make low-level mistakes such as letting go like the previous goalkeepers, although there were not many wonderful saves.  But for the current England, a goalkeeper who performs stably seems to be more suitable than a goalkeeper who sometimes makes amazing saves but is occasionally crazy

    It is precisely because of Hart's stable performance in the game that this kind of doubt began to subside. After all, after Seaman retired, whether it was James, Robinson, Green or Carson, there were inexplicable low-level performances in the game.  Errors have greatly compromised the defensive ability of England's defense - after all, if the goalkeeper behind him is a time bomb, it will also affect the defender's performance. On the contrary, the goalkeeper behind him makes fewer mistakes and the defender can defend better.  Work harder.

    It's just that although Hart is very stable and conscientious on the court, he is indeed not a talented goalkeeper like Buffon Cassie who can show amazing abilities in his teens. He has potential and physical fitness, but he still needs to gradually gain experience.  , In this regard, he is very similar to Jaaskelainen. Jaaskelainen is one of those goalkeepers who is inconspicuous, but in addition to his stability, he gradually makes wonderful saves. The older he is, the better he performs.  , that is because of the gradual accumulation of experience. What Hart lacks now is experience.

    It is precisely because of this that when they saw Torres facing Hart directly, all the England fans were blinded, thinking that the ball was probably lost.

    For Hart, he has been under strict protection from the front and rear defenses before, but now, he is the only one who can fight.

    Hart rushed out of the penalty area, his eyes fixed on Torres who was dribbling the ball, and his feet quickly faced the opponent.

    Torres looked at Hart who rushed out of the penalty area. Hart was over 1.9 meters tall with a long wingspan, and he struck out in time, so when he opened his arms and rushed to a place less than ten meters away from Torres,  At that time, Torres could no longer see too many shooting angles.

    Since the two sides are not working, then the top!

    While running, Torres made a realistic fake shot to the far corner. Hart lowered himself to block Torres' shooting angle. Seeing that Hart had already lowered his body, Torres smiled and stretched his feet under the ball.  One pick!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    The ball drew an arc and was about to fly over Hart's head and into the empty goal behind him!

    Daniel just rushed behind Torres, but still couldn't interfere with Torres' shot!

    The ball flew into the air, and anyone with a bit of vision could see that with this arc, as long as it passed over Hart's head, no one would have the chance to destroy Torres' third goal in this European Championship!

    Many England fans covered their mouths, but at this time, a scene they would never forget appeared in front of them.

    Hart, who was already short, adjusted his center of gravity in an instant, and then soared into the sky like a rocket!

    Although he has an impressive height, Hart's weight is not too big. His body is relatively thin. Although it reduces some of the intimidation, it still allows him to have sufficient jumping ability and agility.

    With a height of 1.9 meters and a wingspan, Hart completed this wonderful save.

    When the ball was about to pass over Hart's head, Hart had already jumped to the highest point. He reached out and tried his best to hold the ball under the ball. The ball slowed down and fell downwards, followed by Hart's body.

    Torres was stunned and immediately rushed over to take a follow-up shot. At the same time, Daniel, who had already returned to defense, would not just watch him run over like this. The two of them entangled and ran towards the ball that was still bouncing on the lawn. At this time,  Hart, who had fallen down, got up on his hands and knees, and held the ball firmly under his body before the two of them caught up with it.

    Daniel braked suddenly, stopped in front of Hart, and then opened his arms to block Torres from behind. Torres hit Daniel's back, and then he also saw the ball being pressed by Hart, and helplessly helped him.  He gave Daniel a hand and stopped.

    At this time, a storm of cheers erupted from the stands.

    ¡°Great job, Joe!¡±

    "St. Joe Hart!"

    England fans cheered one after another in the standsnbsp; "We are going to the finals!" Pierce roared loudly in Xiao Ming's ears, which made Xiao Ming's ears buzz.

    "Why is this guy so excited?" Xiao Ming glanced at Pierce in surprise, only to find that the man with the "Heart of Oak" was flushed, even his eyes were red, and he was obviously too excited to control himself.

    "Weare only ten minutes away from the final!" Mortensen's voice also contained a hint of sobs. Although he has great confidence in Xiao Ming, although he believes that this England is the most powerful team since the 1966 World Cup.  Support England, but when this moment becomes close at hand, every English person will still feel extremely excited!

    Xiao Ming doesn't know why these English people are so excited - since the establishment of the European Cup in 1960, except for England's failure to participate in the first European Cup, England has been eliminated in the qualifiers three times in the other 11 European Cups.  , was eliminated in the group stage four times, entered the knockout round twice, and entered the semi-finals only twice!  Never made it to the finals!  England has always been considered a pseudo-strong team, which is also a big factor!

    A European team that has never even reached the European Cup finals, even if it has won the World Cup once, cannot be considered the top European team!

    And this time, entering the finals for the first time in forty-eight years is right before our eyes!  There are only ten minutes left!

    How can Pierce not be excited?  How can all England fans not be excited?

    After all, Xiao Ming is not a pure Englishman. He will not understand that just entering the finals is enough to make all the English people extremely happy!  You know, the target issued by the Football Association before the game is just to strive for the semi-finals!  Even if they only make it to the top eight, Xiao Ming has completed his task. After all, they are in an extremely difficult group!  The last time we were placed in such a group was eight years ago, when England was eliminated in the group stage!

    It is for this reason that Xiao Ming was the first to calm down. He shouted loudly to the court to calm the players down and prepare for the last ten minutes of the game!

    With two goals in hand, Xiao Ming did not intend to give the opponent too many chances. He replaced Lennon with Button, and then replaced Beckham with declining physical fitness with Carragher. Everyone in England switched to defense!

    Xiao Ming once again proved that he has never been a person who clings to a certain strategy and never gives up

    This move completely killed Spain's hope of a comeback. The iron barrel formation and the layer-by-layer defense of England made it difficult for Spain to attack, especially when there was a relatively large offensive space before and suddenly there was not much room for attack.  The Spanish players seemed at a loss.

    Finally, the referee blew the whistle for the whole game!

    England has reached the final of the European Championship for the first time in 48 years!
